The mist has not been lifted

It's all composed of dialogues between persecuted ex-believers who have escaped and cannot be called a documentary (the position is actually clear). It's more like a curious, ironic, and thrilling talkshow. The founder was a sci-fi writer in the same era as Asimov. A best-selling psychotherapeutic analysis work that turned out in the middle of life almost exploded globally (including China) in the 1990s with Freud. The early appearance is A dirt road psychological counseling and treatment organization and a humanitarian ideal group, the core is to spend money to upgrade the pseudo-religion set by third-rate science fiction novels. Since winning the IRS with the risk of war and adventure, it has gradually turned into a social laboratory that confuses and manipulates control and an interest group whose core purpose is profit-seeking. Purchasing a large amount of tax-free real estate and secretly sucking blood in the image of an NGO, is such an image really unfamiliar? Think about the Catholic Church, the king of real estate in Europe and the United States, and the abbot of the temple who took a private jet to hold CPPCC meetings in China?

The supernatural small groups at the end of the last century, various religions with weird doctrines, prophet followers of various believers, and qigong masters who once entered the house, Scientology is probably the survivor. Not only did they survive, they also made enough money, because It once had a huge influence in Hollywood, and now such a straightforward documentary can be widely spread to win Emmys. It is nothing but Scientology that is going to fade away. This "cult" is going to decline, not the cult itself is really dying, maybe Have you heard of the "Way of the Future" artificial intelligence church that C has made debut in the past two years?

Regarding the definition of a cult, the Chinese word "xie" has its own horrible aura, and it seems to be filled with dark colors at a glance. Persecution and intimidation is unethical, but "cult" itself is indeed a somewhat cool word, and those are classified "Cult" movies may be bloody and thrilling, but most of the niche arts are spiritual and have a history. As for "cult" organizations, they can at least be traced back to the secular hippie movement, not necessarily related to religion. What is unsolvable is that people under oppression use extreme methods to pursue freedom and vent their youth. The drugs they bring, sexual openness, and commoditization have pushed them to the other extreme of confusion, abandoning their self-consciousness, and instead put themselves in shackles. To find the so-called salvation.

NGO organizations, humanitarian aid, fully committed to and believe that they can save the world with a highly idealized posture, it has never been the values ​​of my generation; instead, they express alternative political views, religious remarks, and enter mysterious small groups to advertise themselves. His unique personality is not allowed by the social environment we live in; even for those mentally ill patients who are really stuck in the psychological quagmire, depression and anxiety, it is very difficult to seek formal psychological treatment, or just to tell the truth. We are accustomed to introspection. Most of us are still struggling realists. We can hardly resonate with religious worship in foreign cultures.

Although the life of the children of Scientology is determined to be inhumane, and the story of the broken family of wives is embarrassing, the encounters of those "the hole" are more like the scenes of social and psychological SM. Those who betray or still choose to be The "believers" endorsed by him are more like doing business.

    A late-stage sci-fi writer who really liked science fiction and got himself into it accidentally made a set of products for himself, and then was taken over by a person who really wanted to make money, and the sales amounted to more than one billion yuan... It's so magical ! I think the part that makes everyone laugh is that it takes a lot of money, a lot of energy and time to upgrade to a particularly awesome level and get a top secret document - the founder's unpublished science fiction work One?
